[Data-modeling] Amateur sportspeople

[Shawn Simister]

Why not just use the existing professions property on /people/person? 
Michelle Obama could have the profession "Amateur Ping Pong" which would 
be a specialization of the "Ping Pong" profession. Alternately, you 
could add a hobbies property to person which could hold everything from 
knitting to cave diving.
